Specicaton'of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 11,1913.

Application filed March 16, 1912. Serial N o. 684,160.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, WALTER E. VVAHRA, a citizen of the United' States, residing at Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fly-Nets for Horses, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in fly nets for horses, and it pertains to that class which comprise a plurality of longitudinal bars and transverse cords, which longitudinal bars may be either braided, Woven or formed of two pieces of ordinary webbing or other material, stitched together.

The object of my invention is more especially to provide a simple and eflicient means for preventing the transverse cords from sliding through the longitudinal bars, my device thus retaining said longitudinal bars at uniform distances apart and in their prop-er relative position to each other.

My invention is further explained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which*- Figure 1 represents a plan View of my device as used in connect-ion with longitudinal braided bars. Fig. 2 represents my device as used in connection with woven bars. Fig. 3 represents the retaining device as used in connection with bars formed of two pieces of ordinary woven fabric or other material secured together by a longitudinal series of stitches. Fig. 1 is a detail View illustrating the relation of the retaining cords with the transversely arranged cords.

Like parts are identified by the same reference numerals throughout the several views.

1 represents the longitudinal bars formed of braided material.

2 represents the longitudinal bars as they appear when interwoven, and 3 represents the longitudinal bars as formed oftwo `Strips of woven fabric or other .material secured together by a longitudinal series of stitches 4, 4L upon the respective sides of the retaining cords 5. n

6 represents the transversely arranged cords of a net of ordinary construction.

Novelty of invention is herein predicated more especially upon the use of the cord or cords 5 for retaining the longitudinal bars 1, 2 and 3 in place upon the transversely arranged c-ords 6. The longitudinal cords 5 are securely retained in their relative position to the transverse cords 6 by being inserted between the Strands of said cords, regardless of the` form of the longitudinal bars with which they are used. In all cases the longitudinal cord or cords 5 areadapted to be inserted between, or between and also around, the strands of the transverse cords 6 throughout the entire body of the net, regard-less of the construction of the longitudinal bars. When the longitudinal cord or cords 5 are used with that class of longitudinal bars 2 shown in Fig. 2, said cord or cords 5 may be woven in and form a part of the mesh of said bars. When, however, the longitudinal fastening cord or cords 5 are used with that class of longitudinal bars shown in Fig. 3, said cords are retained in place between the upper and lower members 9, 9, said members being secured together by a longitudinal series of stitches 4, 4. The fastening cord or cords 5 may also be connected with the transverse cords 6 at intermediate points between the longitudinal bars, and a knot may, if desired, be formed in said cords 5 around the transverse cords 6 at one or more points of contact, as shown in Fig. 1.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a ily net for horses, the combination with sets of longitudinally extending bars of fabric and a set of transverse bar-connecting cords crossing the bars of fabric and secured thereto, of a series of longitudinally disposed retaining cords each extending between the strands of the transverse cords, some of said retaining cords being secured to the respective bars between the transverse cords, substantially as described'.
